Australia vs England, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Atkinson to Smith, SIX, an emphatic way to end the game. Look at Smith. He is pumped. Roars in delight and gees up Jake Weatherald too. As sson as he hit that, he let his emotions out. Knew he had middled that. A short delivery on the stumps, Smith goes on the back foot and pulls, it has the elevation to go all the way and crosses the cushions at the deep backward square-leg fence. Maybe Smith was expecting that short delivery, was ready for it. Australia go 2-0 up
